My first mid-term just got over and grades for few assignments are also out. Phew! Midterm converted the party quads into hallowed portals of silence with everyone roaming around with an A4 size paper in hand and trying to make 'the' cheat-sheet. To non-ISB readers, yeah we are allowed to carry an A4 size 'furra' with us during exam and we can write anything on it, but believe me it doesn't help. I hardly referred to my cheat sheet during my exams and I can say this on behalf of most of us.
I have this mixed bag of emotions after the mid-term where I feel glad to be done away with them and also feel traumatized at the outcome and more so probably with the thought that end-terms are just 15 days away.
As far as grades are concerned, I deciphered that there are two types of students in the class - Type I and Type II (pardon my statistical jargon but I cannot help but mention it.. ). Type - I stand true to the definition of false positive. These are the helpless geeks who study but cant score. When they participate in class it appears that they will rock the exam but when the exam/ assignment results come they are at the rock bottom. Type - II also sticks to the definition : false negative. These are the ones who you never think are the scoring types but they score full every time.
There might be others who do not fall in either category but unfortunate for them there are only two classifications I am aware of .
Post mid-term was collection of phenomenal parties all over the student village, needless to mention that every second quad was hosting one, people were out with their guitars on the lawns and all over the place singing merrily.
Greedy me .. I am hoping for another such day soon .. (read the end of term :))
